When I was a child he brought me back from the brink of death. Since that day I have borne his mark, a black star in the center of my left palm. The villagers say it brands me as evil. I think it means something far worse. It marks me as his.

The disease that nearly killed me has returned to the village and children are dying. I’m the only one who dares to climb the mountain and learn his secrets. In exchange I’m to clean his house and help with his strange experiments, but Meremon wants more. He wants me. And it isn’t long before I discover that his demands are as twisted as his experiments.

As always with Brianna Hale books, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. THE NECROMANCER’S BRIDE is a novella of 16,000 words.

There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.

All I want is blood bathing my knuckles, their soulless bodies dead at my feet.

I’ve never felt the need to take someone’s life until now.

They will pay.

I will sacrifice everything to protect my family.

To save the beauty that’s been haunting my dreams.

I don’t even know her, but the fear dancing in her eyes will be my worst nightmare.

It’s a game of death, and I’m all in.

There’s dirt embedded under my nails. My skin is coated in sweat and my clothes are filthy. I’ve slept very little while cracking the code of the southern cartel and Jordan’s family. I’ve found the people he’s crossed and am building a master plan to bring down all of his loved ones.

Emerald eyes and swirling raven hair haunt my sleep when it comes. Rose. Her slender arm sliding through my grasp and me not being able to save her will always and forever be my demon. Hell, I don’t know her from a stranger on the street. All I do know is she’s being held against her will.

It doesn’t go unnoticed that I gave J.J. hell for years for being a saver, and here I sit in a cockroach-infested hotel in Mexico, risking my life for a woman I don’t even know. It’s so much more than that…I hunger to save them all, rid the world of evil, and I won’t stop until it’s done. Whether my heart is beating or dead, I will get the job done.

The woman between my legs bobs her head up and down my hard dick. I grasp the back of her head, guiding her up and down, waiting for my enemies to bust in. It’s an intoxicating sensation: the anticipation, the exhilaration of passion, and the immediate danger looming all around me.

The door to the stale hotel room swings open, clanging off the wall and leaving a hole in the cheap plaster where the doorknob careened into it. Five gun barrels face me, coupled with words firing in every direction in Spanish. I take a sip of my whiskey neat with my free hand and smile back at the slimy bastards.

“Game on, fuckers.”

Thatâs only a few of the names people call me, and all of them are true.

I did the unforgivable. I killed a man in broad daylight.

I did it for her.

I paid my dues, did my time.

Now Iâm out and I want her back, no matter the cost.

She hates me, but that wonât stop me from hunting after her.

I need her to be mine again.

And thereâs a secret I have to tell â¦

But everything has its price.

Iâm willing to pay.

Is she?

Prologue

Lillian

After

Itâs finally time.

I grab one of the dull pencils from the tray and a piece of paper from the stack and place it down in front of me. Biting my lip, I stare wistfully at the sheet, wondering what I should write. If I should even write anything.

There are so many things I want to say, so much I have to explain, but none of the words in my head will suffice. Sheâll never understand. Sheâs too innocent to know the truth.

So I opt for something else instead. Something familiar and loving, so sheâll know how much I care.

âAre you gonna start or what?â the woman across the shoddy table says while glaring at me.

I look up from my paper and gaze blankly ahead. âAs soon as I know what to write.â

âYou donât get much time, yâknow,â she adds, shrugging. âSuit yourself.â

I nod a few times. Advice is best not taken for granted, so I pick up the pencil and rub my lips together.

Dear Daisy,

Youâll probably never read this letter, but I want you to know that at least I tried. Iâve told your auntie Dana to hold onto the letters I send her until I get the chance to hand them to you myself. As much as I want to, I canât be with you right now. But I promise it wonât be long. Iâll be with you again soon. Before you even know it.

I know youâll be good. I know youâll do great out there in the world.

And you know â¦ I will find you again.

Love,

Mommy

Smiling, I read over the words again before my letter and those of all the other women next to me are taken by the guard as she passes us.

Thereâs no choice to make, no autonomy whatsoever. Nothing but sleep, eat, work, and wait.

Wait until your time is up.

Until you can see your baby again.

But I knew the consequence when I did what I did. That Iâd end up sacrificing precious time I couldâve spent with her. But it was the only choice I could make, and Iâd do it again in a heartbeat if I had to.

Itâs no oneâs fault. Not mine or his.

Circumstances brought me here, and I accept that wholeheartedly.

Love â¦ is what brought me here.

I made the ultimate sacrifice for my little girl.

For a man I couldnât stop loving even when that same love ripped her away from me.

My whole life, there had only been one rule. Don’t go to Chicago. It always made me feel like a damsel in distress, trapped in a tower. But my life was filled with kings and queens and the most noble knights and I didn’t need another fairytale.

I needed a bad boy.

Brye McCowan was just that. He was smooth, and seductive. Dark, dangerous and downright drool worthy too. I saw trouble swirling around him in place of a shadow. He was my one rule personified.

And I couldn't stop myself from kissing him.

Which was right about the time that whole fairytale thing kicked back in. Only this time I wasn’t surrounded by heroes. These were the villains, wicked and vengeful. And Brye was one of them. When all was said and done, when all the blood was spilled, the only thing more tormenting than the dungeon he threw me in was knowing it was my family’s twisted secrets that put me there.

Ace Gray is a self-proclaimed troublemaker and connoisseur of both the good life and fairy tales. After a life-long love affair with books, she undertook writing the novel she wanted to read, which culminated in her first release STRICTLY BUSINESS and followed with, well, quite a few more. When she’s not writing, she works in craft beer. Originally a small town, Colorado girl, she now loves rainy days, shellac manicures, coffee shops and bourbon—all of which are bountiful in her adopted home of Portland, OR where she runs amok with her chef husband and husky pup.

Blurb:Maddy has only one decision left to make after the final bruise—leave him.And she’s doing it. She's finally free.Her own home. Own life. Own decisions.There's no-one to answer to anymore.But when her job as an antiques moderator leads her to the mysterious Blandenhyme estate and the intriguing Mr. Caldwell, that freedom begins to turn into an unconventional love lost in shadows and fog.And as chilling voices whisper words to cloud her judgement, and dangerous liasons bring terror and dread to the fore, she finds herself struggling to survive Blandemhyne's sinister misgivings regardless of its beauty.They say the dead never sleep, that they stalk this earth until retribution is served.That time has come.

Review:The ending of this book will not leave me. Like, I can’t stop thinking about it.

In the beginning, Maddy is leaving an abusive relationship. With that thought, it’s not hard to infer that she may not all be there in mind. This comes to question a lot throughout the book.

Jack … I don’t know what to say about this guy without giving anything away. By the end, I was already pretty sure of what was going on with him from things going on in Maddy’s POV. I will say that the loss Jack went through and still felt had my heart breaking for him. What he did for revenge, although pretty sick, I just can’t blame the guy. I totally understand what was happening for him to get to where he needed to be. I thought that aspect of the story was AMAZING!!! That’s the part that won’t leave me.

I still have some questions. Like, what happened to Maddy’s husband? What about her friend? Did the incident with her house really happen? How did the whole woods scene really play out? The mysteries are to remain unsolved.

The last two chapters pieced together some things for me. It gives the setup of an HEA that I think Maddy deserves, however crazy she may be.

I have to admit that I did skim-read a lot in the beginning. The redundancy of thoughts bothered me. The writing, however, was amazing. The story itself is original and intriguing and full of darkness yet beauty. I admit I would have cried if I was alone while reading the ending.

Meet the Geminis.​

Review:I don’t read dark romances… like ever. But Dares, Lies, and Gemini's is the exception. It hooked me from page one and didn’t let go until the last! OMG! This is one of my favorite reads of the year. I don’t want to go into too much detail because that would ruin the experience, because this is a book you have to experience. The twists and turns are heartbreaking and revelatory. You will laugh, cry, and rage. It really was a well-written, poignant, and clever story that engages you throughout the whole journey.

Kat Alexander really outdid herself on this book. I can’t see what she has in store for us next!​5 Stars!
